VANCEBoRo, Sept. 16.
The mysterious fash of light which lit up
the clear skies of Thursday evening" has
been found to have been caused by the fall
ing of an enormous meteor near McAdam
Junction on the laud of the New Brunswick
railroad. The fall of this large body was
accompanied by the most intense
heat. people being unable to approach
within fifty feet of it at the last accounts. No
damage was done by its fall. although the
conclusion was plainly felt at the McAdam
depot, the building shaking as if from an
earthquake, and the dishes falling from the
shelves. This is undoubtedly the largest
historic meteoric fall which has ever oc-
CURED 10 this State, although there has been
tradition that meteor of unusual size and
brllliancy fell some years ago in Penobscot
Bay off the coast of Northport and collectors
of minerals have since made practice of
labelling all rocks found in that vicinity which
were difficult to classify as pieces of the ia
nous meteor. Records of such falls existed
in the writings of the Chinese and Hindoos
manv centuries before the christian era ard
no college cabinet would be deemed COM
plete without few specimens of such matter.
These meteors have usually been of compar-
ativelv small size, however, the intense heat
generated by the friction of the fall through
the atmosphere being sufficient to voltalize
the greater part of them, only small portion
of the very hardest parts reaching the earth.
This fact has been held by scientists to ex-
plain the reason why, of the myriad such
bodies which are seen to fall from the
heavens, so few ever reach terra frmG. 1t
is wise provision of nature, for were it not
so life on this mundane sphere would be ex-
ceedingly precarious.
The whole subject of meteors has proved a
fascinating and mysterious field Of research
and discussion for scientists, but it is only
within comparatively recent times that any
thing definite has been known about their
rate of velocity or the chemical nature of
their composition. The one near McAdam
will be bonanza for geologists, and will,
doubtless, be visited by the leading scientists
of the continent 1t must be of considerable
bulk, just how great, however, it is impossi-
BILE to determine, as it is buried largely be-
meath the surface, probably to considerable
depth, and the intense heat will not admit of
investigation. The fact, however, that about
eleven feet of it projects above the surface
would seem to indicate that its weight is
many tons. The illumination caused by its
fall was seen at great distances.

The reports that the friends Of Walter satteree'

think extremely unkind. But the charge OF PERSONAL
motives Is Strongly denied by several artists
Mr.. sattorlee did not care to discuss the matter

decided adversely though Mr. Johnson
